Slammer and Squire Golf Course at World Golf Village
About
World Golf Village is home to 36 challenging holes of championship golf. The Slammer & Squire Course is named after the two World Golf Hall of Fame legends, Sam Snead and Gene Sarazen, who served as consultants to the course's designer, Bobby Weed. The golf course is known for its tricky par-3 holes and the carefully preserved beauty of the landscape. Its traditional layout meanders through native flatwoods and hardwood hammocks, running alongside wetland preserves and a wildlife habitat. The scenic Slammer & Squire Course features contoured greens and gently rolling, generous fairways. There is also an abundance of water on the golf course in the forms of lakes and marshes.

Best of the bunch
Of the 4 courses I played in and around Jax this was my favorite. Nice views of the HOF tower throughout. Risk reward holes. No aeration. I'll definitely be back.
Very Good Course, Disappointed in World Golf Village
I made the trek to World Golf Village expecting a PGA experience like I experienced at TPC Sawgrass. The hotel does NOT deliver on a golf-resort experience. It was loud, the service was poor, and the hotel was filled with many non-golfer groups. If you can find a way to play the Slammer & Squire without over-paying for the mediocre (2-Star) hotel, I would.
great course
The course is in great shape its a little soft from recent airation but in great shape as always
Very nice layout
This is very nice course. The condition was very good only one or two bad spots that really stand out. The greens were a little slower than I would expect considering that cost/ course stature. I would play this course again
Love this course
Normally I would give less stars for "value for the money" but I played for only $59, which is a great price for this course. The course is in great shape.
Hall of Fame
Very nice course. Well groomed and manicured. Highly recommend playing this one when in Florida
Back on our list
Last time we played this course the greens needed work, but this year they were in great shape. Ended up behind a college team after hole 7' At the turn starter let us go back to 1st tee so wouldn't be stuck behind the college tournament. This course is back on our list of course to play in St Augustine.
Great Course,l
Really enjoyed the course & the staff is awesome here. They take good care of you... 3-4 different tee box options to suit every level of player. I feel
Like it is a forgiving course, wide fairways & big greens. Good bit of sand & water, but that's fine.
Second best on site
It's decent. If only playing one round at the world golf village play King & Bear. It's back 9 is spectacular. The Squirre & Slammer doesn't feel like a Florida course if that's what your after but it's decent for $130 or so.
Review
Excellent course. Golfnow.com made it more affordable. Even the cost of a beer was not too high, as it is at a lot of the nicer courses.
Awesome !
From start to finish one is catered to at this course . The Golfnow green fee really allows one to enjoy this jewel.The course is in excellent shape all the way around. This course is run as efficiently as any you will play.You will not be disappointed.Greens are fast and roll true.The irons check up nicely but the pitches and chips will roll out a bit more than I was accustomed to.Fairways are wide and forgiving but a well placed drive can make a 2 to 3 club difference depending on which side of the fairway you hit.The courses has many well maintained bunkers and some water that can definitely come in play.If you are in the Jacksonville area you should make this a bucket list destination.
Nice Course, Courteous Staff
Very nice, challenging course. Played on 4/17/16. Although some of the tee boxes could use a little more grass, the overall condition was very good with the greens being excellent. Was greeted by a young, very courteous man in the pro shop upon arrival. Would play again, but the (regular) greens fees were a too high I thought.
Good for low handicaps
Tees, fairways, rough, greens were in good shape -- green not browned out, weeds were recently srayed, divots for the most part were filled in with sand. Did see evidence of water / drainage issues but not an issue playing.
Putting can be an issue. Tough to take time with foursomes coming up. Very subtle changes that you can't readily see. Yes, part of the game.
Front 9 different from back 9. Front is tree lined, back is open fields. Both are fun and fair. Rolling mounds in fairways common so expect uneven lies. On 11 tee you drive in a narrow chute. On 13,14, you hit over bunker/water. Low h/c's side water & bunkers. High h/c's got to tread the neddle bete the greenside hazards.
Staff very courteous. You park by the I Golf Hall of Fame and are driven (100yes) to clubhouse. Great lunch at Legends!!
Overall good playing course for everyone.
Great Course
Like this track a lot, of course it helps when you shoot a low round. Course was in good shape for the most part, a couple of choppy areas on some greens.
Wow...
I'm not the most experienced golfer, and have trouble sometimes keeping the ball straight with my driver, but the course layout isn't so tight to where it wasn't a problem for me. The fairways are in excellent condition as well as the greens for the most part. My only problem I was coming across is people not fixing their divots on the greens or not fixing them properly from ball flight. Overall I loved golfing this course and would recommend everyone who likes to golf at least play this course once in their lifetime. I'll definitely be back.
Pristine Conditions
Wow wow wow, first time ever playing this course, and it did not disappoint. It's one if not the best course I've ever played. The staff was excellent, fairways were gorgeous, and the greens were fast but not slick, and rolled very true.
Excellent Golf Experience
Slammer is always a great experience. Greens were fast and true. Readable breaks. Fair test of golf.
Bucket List Course Book this course now
Ok so I was told and read this was a bucket list course. It was designed by Snead and Sarzen..and well it is a great track. l loved the layout. It is decent long from the black tees. 6600 I think . I was hitting them straight today off the tee so made this a very enjoyable round. Play this course pick the right tees and you will love the layout. Greens were money, plush and green. Fairways were nicely taken care of. Only one tee box needed some TLC, but for it being early spring the course was in good shape. It rained cats and dogs the night before and the course was fine in the morning.
Great golfing experience with a Hot Deal at WGV.
Used a Hot Deal voucher & it was a great experience. We had an 8am tee time, and had the range & the course to ourselves. Twosome, played in 3 hrs.
Greeted in the parking lot by friendly & helpful staff, & the check-in in the pro shop was a breeze. Starter was friendly, & said we could tee off as soon as we are ready.
The course conditions were excellent (I've played her 5-6 times now, & this was the best conditions I've experienced here).
One suggestion is to add GPS to the carts.
Will keep my eyes open for a future Golf Now Hot Deal for the Slammer & the Squire.
Course in great shape.
Ony bad experience we had is we couldn't play as twosome.After we found starter he said to busy an we were paired up.The problem I have with this there was a twosome in front of us an a twosome behind us.Also while playing we notice there was more than one twosome behind us.We were so upset we almost didn't play last nine.Really didn't help our game either. We played other courses in the area an starters worked us in as twosome.We will probably never go back.
